Be aware that any difference in gauge will change the size of your finished shawl, as well as the amount of yarn you need to knit it - more stitches to the inch will mean a smaller shawl using less yarn, and vice versa.

Notes

The shawl is worked from the center upper back out and down. There are three sections, all worked at the same time: Wing 1, Center, and Wing 2. The Wings are basically mirror images of each other with stockinette selvedges.

The Center Section is related to Elizabeth Zimmerman’s Pi Shawl. Almost all of the increases fall on wrong side rows. You may wish to have a row counter or a pencil nearby to keep track of your Actual Row versus your Wing Row.
